Crosley Model CR12-1 MP3 Jukebox
Unpacking Instructions & User Guide
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please read the instructions before connecting Jukebox to
power source! Save all boxes and packing material in case you need to return the
Jukebox. Do not break or destroy the foam packing. If item needs to be returned you will
be responsible for obtaining proper packing material and return shipping.
TO REMOVE JUKEBOX FROM SHIPPING CONTAINER: The Jukebox weighs
about 90 pounds so it is best if you have two people to unpack the unit. First, carefully
stand the shipping box on the top side. You will notice that the end of the box is taped on
all sides. Take a small knife and carefully slice through the tape to separate the inner
bottom section of the box from the outer container. You don't need to cut the cardboard,
cut only the tape. Next, carefully tip the unit first to its side and then to the upright
position. Now you should be able to lift the outer box up and away from the Jukebox.
Next, carefully remove the foam packing material from the top and sides of the unit,
taking extra care not to break or damage the foam, in case you need to return the
Jukebox. Note: You will find the remote control, external antenna, and catalog with
warranty information taped to the foam packing material. Remove them and lay aside
until you finish unpacking the unit.
To remove the plastic bag covering the unit, carefully tip the Jukebox to one side and pull
plastic free from that side. Repeat for other side. To remove the foam supports from the
bottom, tip the Jukebox to the side only enough to allow removal of the foam from that
side. This is easier to do if you have one person tip the unit while the other removes the
foam packing. Repeat to remove packing from opposite side.
Special Note: The CD Player has two pieces of clear tape across the front to protect it
from opening during shipment. You MUST remove this tape before attempting to open
the CD player drawer. Failure to do so could damage the CD Player.
Remove the plastic safety cover from the AC power plug. This product may be
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug.
We suggest that you keep all boxes and packing materials until your warranty has
expired. If you would need to return your product it is your responsibility to
provide proper packing for shipment to us.

Step-by-Step Instructions – Using the Auxiliary Input Feature
One of the great features of the Crosley CR12-1 jukebox is the auxiliary input. The
auxiliary input jacks let you connect an external device, such as a portable MP3 player to
the jukebox. If you are a serious music buff, you probably already know that you can
play MP3 music on your computer. You may even already have a portable MP3 player
so that you can listen to your tunes anywhere you go. Now, thanks to the auxiliary
feature on the CR12-1 you can listen to all your favorite MP3 tunes and enjoy the “knock
your socks off” sound of a full sized jukebox.
To connect your external device to the jukebox you
will need a Y audio cable commonly known in the
electronic community as a Y audio cable - MiniStereo Plug Male to 2X RCA Male. This means that
on one end of the cable there is a 1/8” (mini-stereo)
plug that will fit your line out or headphone jack on
your MP3 player. The other end of the cable will be
split into a pair of male RCA plugs, which you will
connect to the jukebox. If you do not already have
one of these, you can find them at computer and
electronics stores and in the electronics section of
many shopping centers.
Shown above is the adapter cable
needed to connect your external
device to the auxiliary jacks of the
CR12-1 jukebox.

Using the Auxiliary Input Feature (Continued from page 12)
To use the auxiliary feature, first connect the Y audio cable to the auxiliary inputs on the
jukebox. On the back panel of the jukebox you will see two RCA plugs labeled AUX. IN
and they will be marked R & L (for right and left). Your Y audio cable will likely have
one of the RCA plugs that will be red. The other may be black, white or some other
color. Connect the red RCA plug into the red AUX. IN plug (marked R) on the back of
the jukebox. See the picture on page 3 of this guide. Next connect the remaining RCA
plug to the other AUX. IN (marked L) on the back of the jukebox. If your MP3 player or
other external audio device has a jack labeled line out connect the Mini-Stereo plug into
that jack. If there is only the headphone jack, connect the Mini-Stereo plug into it. Set
the volume level to a minimum on your external device. Special Note: While a true line
out jack is not amplified and the output from it is constant, the headphone jack output is
amplified and is regulated by the volume control. Since the headphone jack output will
vary from one device to the next, it is very important (if you are connected through the
headphone jack) to start out with the volume level of your external device (MP3 player,
etc.) set low so that you do not overload the circuitry of the jukebox and damage it.
Power up the jukebox: Press the yellow power button on the right side of the front
control panel. Next, press the stand by button on the front control panel. The LCD
screen will light up and greet you with HELLO. The jukebox should now be in FM
mode. Next, press the function button repeatedly until you see the LCD display AUX.
With AUX showing on the display, adjust the volume level on the jukebox to a low level
(about 10) by using the volume up / volume down buttons. Now you can turn on your
external device and with the volume level also set low on it, start playing a song. You
may not hear any sound at first since the volume is turned down on both the player and
the jukebox. Alternately increase the volume, first on the external device and then on the
jukebox. If you are connected through the headphone jack of a portable MP3 player you
may need to turn the volume on it up to 2/3 full or more before you have enough output.
If you turn it up too high, the output can be distorted. Note: If your external device (MP3
player, etc.) has a line out jack, the output from it should be constant and there would be
no need to adjust the volume on it while connected to the jukebox.
You will need to use the controls on your external device to select and play songs but the
jukebox Mute, BBS and EQ will work while you are using the AUX mode.
Mute: Press mute to silence the sound in auxiliary, radio or CD mode. Press mute again
to recover previous audio level.
BBS: Turn on BBS for an enhanced base sound effect. Press the BBS button. The LCD
will display whether BBS is on or off. Press the button again to turn the feature on or off.
EQ: Press EQ repeatedly to select PASS, CLASSIC, ROCK, POP or JAZZ. Choose the
selection that sounds best for the type of music you are playing.
To exit auxiliary mode and return to CD or Tuner mode, turn off your external device.
Turn down the volume on the jukebox. Press the function button to select CD or Tuner
mode. To shut off jukebox from aux. mode: Press stand by, and then power.

Troubleshooting Tips
•
•
•
•
No Sound: Make sure that the speaker switch is set to INT. (internal speakers)
unless you have optional external speakers attached. Also check to make sure
MUTE function is not enabled.
Poor Reception or No Apparent Sound with Radio in FM Mode: The CR12-1
Jukebox uses an external FM antenna. If the antenna is not connected as outlined
in the directions on page 3, reception of FM stations will be poor. In most
instances it will seem as if the sound is not working.
CD Will Not Play: You may need to clean the CD. Dirt or scratches on the disc
can prevent it from playing. If you have problems playing CDs that you have
recorded on your computer, try a different brand of CD media. Before assuming
that the CD player is the problem, test it with a commercially made CD.
Warning: Although there is a protective film being marketed as a CD accessory,
use of these products will result in malfunctions and should absolutely be
avoided.
Sound Distorted in AUX mode: If you are connected through the headphone
jack on your external device (MP3 player, etc.) you may have the volume set to
high on your external device. Try reducing the volume. Use the line out jack on
an external device if it has one. Use a high quality audio cable to connect your
external device to the jukebox.
